Let's see, what did I do this last weekend in Norrath? Well, everyone was away in Rome so I had the home to myself and some good time to make up for lost time...
Finally, finally got Archery Mastery I and decided after seeing the dmg that I would go after EQ before trying for AM II and III. Did pick up 2 CLASS 7 Drakebone Drakespire Arrows for when I get it. This should absolutely rock in conjunction with an Obsidian Compound Bow.
Figured out what the best tribute point/bazaar trash ratio is, what sells in the bazaar very very cheap but pulls high trib points, got 13000 points for just under 978 plats.
With the help of my Guild...the one and only Valorious of Prexus...finally got Swiftwind for the first weapon of my Ranger 1.0 epic. VALORIOUS!!! YOU ROCK!!! Of course, when I went to do the turn in with Telin, discovered a major BUG in the system. I was supposed to turn in an Ancient Sword to Telin and Faelin is supposed to step from the shadows. At that time I was supposed to hand her the sword and she would return Swifty. Imagine my surprise when I got there and found Telin in a barn dance with not 1 but 8 Faelins. OK, so I took a big chance and did the hand in to the Faelin that didn't seem to move as much and it worked, but oh man...did get some really good screenshots of the whole thing, just trying to imagine the best caption before submitting them to Alla.
In the above mentioned situation, found out just how...reliable...the bug reporting system worked. Did it work or not? Will Telin enjoy a life with not 1 but 8 Faelins dancing circles around him forever and ever. We shall see in the next patch. Stay tuned...
Went with some of the crew from Valorious to PoN to start collecting ingredients for the Small Clockwork Talisman, got the Congealed Bile...(getting tired of the only two ways I can get out of a bind is either Ranger Gating or Gate Potions, both of which, after all costs considered (Pristine Soulstone/Rez vs. Gate Potion) are about equal).
Did an LDoN with some of my guildies as well, noted that I got about the same amount of AAs as a normal MM, but got like 41 points from it and...guess what...you can die in these...remember dying?...and you actually do advance combat skills and learn how to fight your class and skills...(/ranton if I see one more fairy tush I think I will erupt and go psycho and send Mithril Champion Arrows up every crevice I can find.../rantoff). I think I need to explore the LDoNs out a bit more.
Started to snoop around Freeport, hate the place actually, I am from Surefall Glade and I hate the grit and dust that Freeport seems to seethe in every corner, but hey, something is amiss...(waiting for patch in January to start story line...I hope)...
What did I do this weekend...not much...but I will try to do better next time...
